The UPC have extended the deadline for the OCN Level 3 in Community Development and OCN Level 3 in Community Relations courses but hurry as there are only a few places remaining!

The OCN Level 3 in Community Relations course runs on Tuesdays, 9.30am - 3.30pm.  This course provides an opportunity for community relations workers and activists to further develop their knowledge base and enhance their work skills.  Areas covered include community relations theory, policy and practice, cultural attitudes and behaviour, race and ethnicity, reconciliation and approaches to dealing with the past.  The course is being accredited at Open College Network  Level 3.

The OCN Level 3 in Community Development runs on Thursdays, 9.30am - 3.30pm.  This course provides an opportunity for community development activists to learn about the theory and practice of community development; reflect on their own and organisational practice; develop their understanding of the National Occupational Standards in Community Development and improve their ability to access funding and govern their community groups.  Added to this, the certificate is a recognised national qualification.

Both courses run at the College for one academic year commencing October 2007.

The closing date for applications is Thursday 25 October.
